Excerpt
To successfully treat low back pain, movement impairments and muscle performance impairments must be corrected. This is the foundation and infrastructure of your body, much as the levee is to prevent flooding. Faulty movement patterns and muscle performance impairments eventually lead to low back pain. To be free of low back pain, these impairments must be dealt with. If they’re not, you can treat the symptoms forever and never experience permanent pain relief. Those of you who have been through the process know this all too well. You don’t need a tissue specific diagnosis (pinched nerve, pulled muscle, facet joint arthritis, sciatica, herniated disc, etc.); you need a functional diagnosis.
A functional diagnosis basically determines what movement patterns and sustained positions make symptoms worse and what movement patterns and sustained positions make symptoms better. Once you know this, you’ll know what motion patterns need to be focused on to rehabilitate the spine and what muscles and muscle groups require improved strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control.
Drugs reduce the sensation of pain or reduce inflammation or decrease muscle tension depending on what you’re taking. Momentarily this will reduce symptoms, but it’s not a long-term solution. Drugs make symptoms tolerable so your body can heal and should be reserved primarily for acute low back pain. Injections decrease inflammation at the injection site. A strong anti-inflammatory is the primary drug in spinal injections, and this may or may not help. Even if it does help, it will only be temporary. Whatever is causing the inflammation (faulty movement patterns and muscle performance impairments) still exists, so after the strong anti-inflammatory wears off, the pain and inflammation are coming back. Surgery will either remove part of the disc thought to be at fault or fuse the spine together so the region thought to be pathologic just won’t move.
The problem is that after surgery, you’re still going to have the same faulty movement patterns and the same muscle performance impairments. The pain is coming back. That is why the current treatment model is so ineffective. Because low back pain is a result of a dysfunction of the movement system (muscles, bones, and joints), the movement system must be treated. Simply treating the tissue that’s painful BECAUSE of the dysfunctional movement system will not solve anything. Low back pain is due to lifestyle choices, similar to type II diabetes or high blood pressure. Your lifestyle (how much you move, how you move) has to be changed in order to successfully treat the condition just like changing your diet and exercise level is the best way to treat type II diabetes and hypertension.
